One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most bedding or joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches. For a typical patio or walkway job, figure your square footage, decide on depth, and order in full cubic yard increments since this is sold by the yard and partial loads are not really a thing.

We hand-pick and partner with the best yards in your region, keep only the ones our buyers rate well, and back each load with our guarantee.

Most sand orders in Rogers get paired with paver base gravel or chip stone underneath and polymeric jointing sand on top. If you are doing mortar work for a stone veneer or brick project, you will also want cement and lime on hand before the load shows up. Some pool projects pair sand with a layer of crushed stone for drainage first.

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but is a poor final choice for paver bedding on its own. If you are setting pavers on Rogers' rocky clay, use a compacted gravel base first, then a thin 1 inch mason sand screed layer on top. Skipping the gravel base and relying on sand alone over clay is the most common reason paver patios heave after a hard freeze thaw winter.
A growing number of installers around Rogers are switching from mason sand to clean chip stone for paver bedding because sand pumps and washes out under repeated freeze thaw cycles, especially where clay underneath stays wet. Chip stone locks together and will not migrate the same way. Save your mason sand order for mortar mixing and paver joints where its fine, uniform grain is actually the advantage, not a liability.
Order mason sand and any paver base gravel or chip stone at the same time if your project needs both, since a single delivery saves a second trip charge and gets both materials staged before your crew starts. Stockpile sand on a tarp if rain is forecast, since Rogers gets heavy spring storms that will wash a loose pile into your yard.
Rogers sits on rocky clay that does not drain well and does not screed evenly, which is exactly why sand gets used underneath pavers, walkways, and mortar joints instead of relying on the native soil. With freeze thaw cycles running from late October into mid April at this elevation, a properly bedded paver base matters more here than in flatter, warmer regions. Mason sand also gets used for mixing mortar on the stone and brick work common around town. Because the clay beneath it holds moisture, a lot of contractors are now bedding pavers on chip stone instead and saving the mason sand strictly for mortar and joints.
Masonry sand is washed and finely screened, the right choice for mortar work, paver joints, and sandboxes. Fill sand is coarser and less processed, better suited to leveling, bedding pipe, and filling low spots.
For pavers, screed a 1 inch sand bed over a compacted base rather than using sand to fix deep grade problems. A thin, even bed locks pavers in place. A thick one shifts underfoot.
Slightly damp sand spreads, screeds, and compacts far more easily than bone dry sand, which just flows back into your screed lines. Lightly wetting the pile before you work it saves real effort.
